From Ben

Fun Arks Over Heaven Fact: The Ben in The Arks: Over Heaven, was originally going to be a minor character who would be part of the group ----, and he would be a guy who had gone crazy because he believes he has experienced this island before, in another timeline. He would also oppose Samuel, believing he should back down on his mission to —-- and “give up like he did”.

Instead of plant manipulation, this Ben would have the ability to remember everything he saw.

If this instance of Ben was added, then certain characters who may show up later who you may or may not enjoy having wouldn’t exist, and neither would the concept of the Book Club.
